This vendor has a cute 59 Lark 2 dr. on eBay at a reasonable starting bid, but look at the other cars he has listed. He is evidently selling off an old junk yard. Also look at his feedback before bidding.

Have you read his "ME" page? There is a picture of some cars with what looks like a Studebaker pickup in the middle. I wonder how much he wants for that.

Is that a big chunk of bondo coming loose on the lower rear of the left front fender of the Mary Kay Lark? I'm not that kind of guy, but I must admit that a pink Lark would be kind of cool. Not "cute" mind you, but cool. I could get in touch with my more feminine side......

[}:)] Easy, John; that is not pink, Mary Kay or otherwise. It is Tahiti Coral, a 1959 color that would best be described as Salmon, if you had to use one word.

Lee DeLaBarre has an unusually nice, red 1959 Lark Regal hardtop in stock that I went up to see in Ft. Wayne last week. [:p] I was tempted to buy it and would have had it been Tahiti Coral...as was the '59 Regal Hardtop I drove to Purdue. But I finally had to confess to Lee that I just couldn't talk myself into buying something that, every time I looked at it, I wished it was a different color. [V]

[:0] (The car was too nice to color-change and the existing repaint could be usable with a good color-sand and buff and I don't like color changes anyhow, so that was out.) [8D] BP

And he calls this 1940 Chevy convertible "very rough"!the buy it now is 2,000 is this guy retarded or what

Want to punish yourself for doing something bad past or present? Just buy from this guy. His feedback reads like a bad nightmare. I'd pass on the Mary Kay Coral Lark or anything else he has to sell unless you are in the habit of sending money out for nothing in return. However...a little elbow grease might bring back that old Franklin!

It looks like a significant portion of his feedback problem relates to taking weeks (or months) to ship an item. I suspect that if you won a car and showed up with a handful of dead presidents that it might go smoother. However, I would go prepared to do all the work to load the vehicle and not rely on what he may represent.

Hmmm, Bob, I think you've already gotten in touch with your feminine side. Me? I have no idea what color salmon is...at first I kept looking around for a fish that bears eat! Most guys only know of five colors; black, red, white, blue and green. Anything else isn't a color but a mistake made by the paint mixer upper. I considered myself pretty worldly for knowing six colors but you sure shot me down! It's going to take a lot of high dollar therapy to get my self esteem back thanks to you. I think I'll go slink off with my tail tucked between my legs now.

Wouldn't it be fun to gather up the pieces of that 40 Chev convertble(if thats even what it was) and load on a roll back,take it to a professional collector car restoring company and say,"I want her in mint condition,no expense spared,and Ill be picking her up in 6 months"

The look on the guys face would be priceless.

Note to anyone who may have been thinking about the Lark: Seller has added pics showing major frame rust... caveat emptor!
